This isn't the natural order of things, but it's been that kind of day.
I ran out of this Kureyon about two-thirds of the way through this scarf, which wasn't even very fun to knit. Said scarf then sat in a drawer for six months next to finished objects, where I'm sure it was teased mercilessly. Yarn can be cruel.
Now look at this:

I ran out of Kersti 7 rows too soon - can you believe that? This is the purly bump side of the Falling Leaves shawl from Lavish Lace. It will block flat in a diamond pattern, just as soon as I get more Koigu.
Aww, but the scarf was so pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt's okay - it's halfway to being a fake isle hat now!! Lydia
ReplyDeleteoh no! i agree with melissa, the scarf was indeed pretty but if it's halfway to being a fake isle hat, that's even better! can't wait to see it. the shawl looks amazing! I can't wait to see it when it's all done. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, poor, poor you, I can *so* feel what you're going through! Right now I'm battling with not having enough yarn for the cardi I'm doing, and it drives me totally insane - argh! I agree, the scarf was so pretty - but hey, if it's going to be a fake isle soon, then it's going to be even more awesome!
ReplyDeleteha...g-girl, I decided to do the fake isle because I read about yours!! Lydia
ReplyDeleteHi dipsy!! I know, I've been reading about your cardi - it's such a bad feeling to run out!! Lydia
ReplyDeleteI had a feeling that's where you got the idea!!
